That's it from me today, but updates from across North Yorkshire will continue throughout the afternoon and evening.  

Meanwhile, here are five things we've learned about our county so far today: 

1. North Yorkshire County Council agrees care home funding has reached a "tipping point" as councillors discuss how much they're going to pay care homes for their services
2. Drax power station is to spend £340m to buy Opus Energy and four gas turbine development projects in a move they say will enable them to cut carbon emissions
3. It's going to be a very happy Christmas for some North Yorkshire families after the NHS said it will now make a potentially life-saving drug available to their children
4. Horton-in-Ribblesdale Primary School, one of North Yorkshire's smallest schools is facing closure - it's rated "outstanding" but has only 15 pupils
5. It's been a season of misery for York City, but today they've received a much-needed boost with the news that striker Rhys Murphy may not be as badly injured as first thought

It's a day in which the fog has struggled to lift in many parts of the county, so I'll leave you for now with this almost spooky picture of York Minster.

Thanks to our BBC Weather Watcher Garry Hornet for sending it in:

Today's low cloud, mist and some freezing fog may persist in many areas into the afternoon.

The top temperature you can expect this afternoon will be a whopping 5C (41F).  

Can you help? This CCTV footage dates back to the early hours of May 21 and police are hoping it might jog your memory:

We've got some really positive news now on a story we first brought you back in October.

The NHS has announced it has decided to fund a drug which could save the lives of children suffering from rare inoperable brain tumours. 

It follows a campaign by a number of families in North Yorkshire. 

The drug Everolimus gives hope to children with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC). 

One of those lobbying the government was Nick Dale, from Copmanthorpe in York, whose son, Sam, has TSC. He gave me his reaction to the news:
